Architect Sir Edwin Lutyens designed this elegant town garden at the heart of the BMA headquarters at Tavistock Square. It is a private garden, much esteemed by members and visitors to the BMA, but little known beyond.

Planting is refreshingly green around a central oval pool. A collection of physic plants bears witness to the continuing role of plants in contemporary pharmacology.

Gardener: Mrs Daniela Sikora
